Turret can be indexed by cranking the rotor of electric motor by hand. Hand cranking is required for inspecting
the setting of encoder and proximity switch. It is also necessary for inspecting the clamping function of disc
springs.
Procedure for hand cranking is as follows :
1. Disconnect 3 phase power supply to the motor.
2. Remove end cover (119) of motor. Hexagon head of motor shaft is now approachable.
3. Use a suitable cranked spanner to crank the motor.
4. After cranking, do not forget to place cover (119), back in position.
